Earlier this month, Pakistani military forces test-fired a ballistic missile with a range of 1,300 kilometers (810 miles).
The test was a flexing of muscles towards Pakistan’s neighboring rival, India.
It was conducted two days after India successfully tested the interception of a ballistic missile.
